JOG-A-THON TWO WEEKS AWAY!!!

Our Jog-A-Thon is scheduled for Friday, March 18th. This is not only a fun event but the largest fundraiser for our school. The students have so much fun and we all look forward to it every year. Please visit our PTA’s website www.santiagohillspta.com/jog-a-thon for information and donating via credit card or PayPal. We are very excited and we thank our committee for all of their hard work making this happen.
In the Thursday folder your student received their pledge envelope and an information packet on the fundraiser including what time each class with be running that day. Now is the time to start collecting pledges from family and friends to support our school and this fantastic event! A lot of companies will also do corporate matching which is a great way to raise even more money for Santiago Hills!
The jog committee is still looking for volunteers for each class. You should have received an email from your room parent with information on how to volunteer. It is such a FUN way to get involved so be sure you sign up! Email your room parent directly or kellycarter2009@gmail.com. We need at least 4 parent volunteers from each class.
*Please note that all TK and kindergarten will be early tigers on March 18th.

We’ve finished another collection for Box Tops. Congratulations to Mr. Jamison’s 3rd graders for collecting the most with 632 Box Tops and half of the class clipping! They won the class Pizza Party. Mrs. Day’s 4th graders came in second with 332. For this school year, your support has earned us $1,050 from the Box Tops program. Thank you!
